We are a multidisciplinary architecture and design studio.

We are a multidisciplinary architecture and design studio.

We primarily grew from a young, progressive concept and architectural studio to a firm that practices on a multiple scope of services. The whole team at Pure Design Studio is passionate to produce creative and distinctive solutions in architecture, interior design, 3D visualization, landscape, master planning, C&S and MEP Design for Real Estate projects such as Resorts, Hotels and Villas in Vietnam. 

Our core discipline stems from our strengths in architecture. We pride ourselves in providing cutting edge design and exceptional delivery services customized to meet our client’s demands and specific requirements whether on a small or large scale.

Our integral architectural design work and consultancy service creates investment value for our clients, which fundamentally won us the trust of reputable local and international clients.

We are excited to share a selection of our achievements as shown in our project portfolio.

In pure architecture the smallest detail should have a meaning or serve a purpose.
